Have any of you been watching Crufts over the last few days?
I am dogless(as opposed to legless) for the first time in my life. I've bred several breeds of terriers-notably Bull terriers-and trained sheepdogs for a long time However, circumstances have required that I haven't had a four-legged friend for a time-and I miss them. I'm considering getting a pup, breed to be decided, and was wondering what breeds the SH members favoured.
They say a dog usually resembles its owner (so I apologise in advance to the poor mutt that finds its way to Artificer Cottage) and have been imagining what people might keep.........no doubt Will has a Barder Collie and Gman has a Taxhund. Carpy will have a Quack Russell, Feenix a Griffon, Jags a Scottie, and Blue has, obviously, a Kerry Blue. By the look of Tallnhairy's avatar he has a 'lurcher' and Alex, of course , has Whippets.
so what breeds do you like?

Umm... cats? I'm in the wrong thread.
I watched Crufts tonight - loved the obedience thing but thought it was a tad 'controlling' - yes I know that's the point!! I want to watch more of the game with the ball and the obstacle course and have NO IDEA what the dishy (but small) bloke from Top Gear is doing there!!
I'm not really a dog person though I have been known to borrow one for walking purposes when faced with solo walking.
Westie for me - close Arti!!

PS isn't James Bond boring..... *yawn*

Nah, not keen on Kerry Blues, they're just, well... grey really.
I'm also dogless at the mo, but do intend to get another one in the future - trouble is I'm allergic to most dogs so I have to be very careful what I choose. I think I will go for a German Shepherd or a German Shepherd cross because they're beautiful.
When I was younger I used to have a German Shepherd x Collie and she was the most wonderful creature ever created. My next dog will have to be some magnificant animal to hold a candle to Jinty - I'd show you a picture of her but I don't know how to add pics to posts
(can anyone help?)

Why am I not surprised?
:rotflmao: Afghan Hounds & Bull Dogs for breed.
Afghans are great fun, total nutters and Bulldogs are so loyal and loving.
Also had a X sheepmouse mongrel until last year and she was lovely - raised several litters of kittens for one of the cats who was completely bone idle when it came to motherhood.
Still miss her

I had a Cocker Spaniel once.... thick as shit. We were broken into once and the burgler complained because it tried to follow him home wagging it's tail.
I now have three cats. Three is a dangerous amount of cats to have - they conspire to form a pincer formation to divest you of your cheese sandwhich when you're not looking!
Hxx

Lol Heather - So funny!
I used to have a great dane - soft as you can get! But he used to think he was a lap dog. For years I thought black and blue was the normal colour for thighs!

Nice to see the whippet win, as I like whippets, but actually I thought the Saluki should have won the hounds, but as we only see them from our TV screens, what do I know! I fancied the Scottie for Best in Show so was pleased it got the reserve.
I thought what they showed of the Agility was very impressive - very high standard this year. I used to do dog agility you know (no quips please )
You lot didn't know that I know my dogs as well as my dogging, did you

Diary of a cat:
Day 183
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair, must try this on their bed.
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat Iwas. Hmmm, not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait. It is only a matter of time.
